in fact it is evident the widest step of the active part of the spring....but it is deformation.in that image the mounting is clear. the wire is forced to enter the holes of the plate. in my opinion the term thread is wrong or at least misleading.
maybe a pin can also screw it, but it will hardly be a stable and safe coupling.
No.buying a spring with ø inside pairs to 8mm, is it possible to screw a pin m8?
Since you got it from the catalogue of the Modena furniture, I would say that it's easy enough to buy itand are, or should be, commercial.
